In the novel Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, the character, The Controller, believes that keeping the civilians of the Brave New World ignorant and emotionally sedated will bring social stability. The Controller indicates the extreme sacrifices that need to be made in order to keep a society stable and happy. Through a vary of literary devices like allusion, symbolism, and Irony, Huxley highlights that not only are these ineffective ways to create a utopia, but the idea of utopia is impossible to obtain. As this passage opens, The Controller expresses that the people of the brave new world will never be able to understand works of art like Othello due to…show more content…The Controller makes it clear that, “You can’t make tragedies without social instability.” Social Instability exemplifies everything that corrupts a society. Besides, the world of Othello is completely different from the Brave New World. Huxley’s use of Shakespeare is a symbol for all of the art that has been rejected. Using an author with the type of art like Shakespeare allows readers to get an example of high art that the people of the Brave New World are not being exposed to. Huxley’s use of Shakespeare can also be recognized as allusion. The allusion to Shakespeare that the Savage brings reveals the life of tragedy and instability that the Brave New World rejects. People of the brave new world have never known what it is like to suffer. With all of the advances in science and values, people are now able to live a happy life. People aren’t bothered with little things like sickness, old age, and monogamy. Not having family members to form emotional bonds with consequently makes life less bothersome.

state. Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, argues that this is not the case. Through the creation of a type of scientifically led world order, the society has destroyed the one thing that people cherish most, their individualism (Brander 71). They are no longer individuals; they are consumers assimilated into an overall society by the power of genetics. However, that is not all.

It's hard to assign an irrefutable definition to the world nowadays - given its remarkably unfathomable state. The American Dream, the information revolution, two world wars, pornography, third world countries' independence and other benchmarks define the timeline of the 20th century (the near past). However, where has this left us today? Indeed the world exhibits an extremely ambiguous era that may be a prelude to a wholly different future than its past – far or near.

Contemporary society is blinded by new and improved technologies only created for the increase of apathy. Neil Postman has declared that the novel, Brave New World, can be used to connote our society is slowly changing into that dystopia. Aldous Huxley, the author of this piece, conveys his idea that what we love oppresses us, and will ultimately be our downfall.

Runner and Brave new world present a dystopian future with a bleak vision of the world. Frankenstein really is a failed attempt at a love story in my level-headed opinion. I didn’t really care for it all that much so it will hardly be discussed in this essay. (sorry)
Reflected in Scott 's Blade Runner, Tyrell has turned into the "God of biomechanics" and Roy his "prodigal son". These biblical suggestions are apparent of the consumerist drive for development of global organizations in the 1980 's and further

Brave New World Analysis 1/3

Aldous Huxley and George Orwell, the British authors of two of the world’s most famous dystopias, both wrote their predictions about the future world. Today, there is an ongoing debate about whether Huxley’s prediction of a society based on satisfaction and pleasure, in Brave New World, or Orwell’s prediction of a society based on terror and misery, in 1984, is most similar to today’s world.
